Q3 what have you learnt about technology from constructing
- 1. Q3-What have you learnt about technology from constructing your product?
- 2. Programmes Used • Word • PowerPoint • Prezi • Slide share • Blogger • Adobe Indesign • Adobe Photoshop
- 3. Microsoft Word I used Microsoft to type out all the work that had to be on the magazine, I did this as it is a good way to check that all my spelling and grammar is correct as it is hard to do that on Indesign. I think that Microsoft has taught me to check my spelling, and also the word count as it generally tells you how many words you have and what spellings are wrong.
- 4. PowerPoint PowerPoint is a good programme to use, I used it to make the mood board for both my preliminary task and my final product ideas. It teaches you how to use some picture editors and it also taught me how to put things into slideshows so I don't have to worry about it not all being there and trying to fit too much onto one page when it needs to be presented.
- 5. Prezi Prezi is another online way of documenting your work. It taught me how to upload cool presentations and make my work look really neat and tidy. It also taught me that you can upload both pictures and text in different patterns to make all your work look different. Prezi helped me to show that you don't just have to use all the same boring programmes to document your work with, and that you can use the internet.
- 6. Blogger Blogger is an online blog that I can upload all of my work onto, and proof that I have done it. It helps show all the work that I have done and is basically like an online diary. Blogger has taught me that you can keep all of your work online and show it, with it being all under one URL, and not having to open all different files to view the work that has been done.
- 7. Adobe Indesign Adobe Indesign is the programme that I used to put all of the magazine together. Indesign taught me how to place pictures into the file, and also how to make a magazine. It had all of the guidelines around the text and pictures that I was using so I knew where I could and couldn’t places of information that needed to be inserted into the magazine. It also taught me how to limit the space that I was going to use.
- 8. Adobe Photoshop Photoshop was what I used to edit all the pictures for my music magazine. It taught me how to get rid of any shadows that existed on the picture. It is also taught me how to save the picture that I have edited, and change it into another file so if I didn’t have this specific programme on the computer that I was going to use then I would still be able to open the picture to edit it.
